Hey, Bruce. he should have stolen the TV in Halifax County. He would have gotten 30 years, with 29 3/4 years suspended on condition of good behavior .

 

surely he knew that going into someone's home, and stealing a potato, was wrong. who cares if it was a black and white TV?

i don't.

buh bye.

 

I CALL BULLSHIT!

I gaurentee he didn't get the LIFE for a TV! I wanna know what his previous RECORD was!

 

Two burglaries, a breaking and entering, a car theft, and a violent assault.

Even so, it still seems very excessive. And they said keeping him in jail has cost the taxpayers $1,000,000.

5 Separate FELONY Convictions INCLUDING a VIOLENT offense. Doesn't sound Excessive to me! Hope he rots!

 

God forbid if they let him go.. he might run out and steal another TV.

Wacked out stuff like this makes people lose respect for the justice system.

 

The only people that lose respect for the JUSTICE system are the panty wastes that think a PRISONER should have rights!

 

Hell yes you are so right! He just might steal a TV, maybe he would break into a couple more peoples houses, or take their cars. Who knows he might just go out and RAPE or VIOLENT attack an innocent person! I say it again! I hope he finds out he has only days to live the minute he is released from jail!

 

don't worry robert. this doesn't effect you. (yet again)

plus, there's a lot of guilty people who aren't in jail thanks to the justice system. that should make you happy? in iran, he would have first lost his hands, and then been stoned to death.

sounds fine to me. :up:

 

I like the idea of 3 strikes.

ps it look like the 30 yr was for beating the woman.

 

Exactly why I called BULLSHIT!

 

"they couldn't prove the house was actually occupied" at the time. Kinda scary to think that you need a witness to prove that you were home alone in order to prove that someone came in your home and beat you up.

Everyone has committed a crime at some point in their lives be it speeding or something more serious. However, people who commit violent crimes against other people get no support from me, and anyone who targets children or the elderly should be buried....period.

 

What makes me lose respect for the justice system is the disparity in which the so called system hands out penalties...not referring to this case in particular, but I've seen rapists and murderers who get sentenced less time than someone selling marijuana. It just doesn't make sense to me at all.
